This is what I saw on Reddit for a post about a swollen chicken eye:
“You can actually use polysporin, neosporin, erythromycin or bacitracin antibiotic ointment to the affected eye 3 times a day. This can be over-the-counter ointment. It will say not for use in eyes. You can use it anyway...
She has a lot of puss looking milky white eye discharge I wiped it out and tried to squirt saline in the eye after. But her eye was closed so I don’t know what got it. No other discharge. I will try to look in the eye for objects.
My hens eye is all of a sudden swollen. Not fully shut yet.
I read other places it’s a type of infection and to gently clean it. What do you guys think?
We’re Quarantining her.
Hi I just got this old English game bird they said it’s 99% sure it’s a rooster which is fine with me but does this look like a roo for sure? The tail feathers also stand straighter up I think than the others if that’s a male trait 2 months old also can you tell the breed of oeg it is?
I have silkies, polish, leghorn and reds, I’ve always had a silkie rooster.
If I get a Brahma or any other larger rooster will it be dangerous for my silkies?
I’ve never had this issue before I think it’s bumble foot? It’s not very red but the top “balls” are super hard abs the bottom pad is squishy I’m going to scrub her feet to clean the poop off but then should I soak? In epsom salt or ?
thank you.
I bought this because someone in this site recommended pyrethrin dust on hens and it’s the same active ingredients as the ones “for poultry” but it says for home and garden but not for pets.
